Résumé :
|
The commission of the european communities is actively involved in energy research trrough programmes carried out in its establishment of the Joint Research Centre (direct action) and trough several others programmes carried out under contract by industry, universities and research institutes among its member states. The aim of this report is to present the R&D work carried out under contract in the framework of this programme dealing with the so-called "new energies", as well as with energy conservation and energy systems modelling. The report starts with an outline of the energy R&D strategy which led the commission to propose such a programme. It then presents a summary of the programme's content, its implementation and supervision structures and its preliminary results. Finally, a detailed description of each of the contracts concluded before 30 september 1977 is given. This description, which constitutes the main part of this report is subdivided into five chapters according to the programme's five objectives or sub-programmes. Each chapter is preceded by a few pages presenting the main lines and the status of research in the particular area considered.
